Project Old Blue, 1965 C10, Rebuild Version 2010

[aggie91]

I got my parts in yesterday. The radiator is similar to the ones on Summit and Jegs that others on here have used, but was only $139.99, I also got new valve covers and a timing cover and tab with bolts. The cover on the old motor is cracked and leaking and a plain steel one was the same cost as a chrome one. All of these parts in the photo are from Speedway Motors.


I also got my rust coatings from Eastwood and my rear caliper kits from the local O'Reilly's along with some brake lines and a new master cylinder. I hope to get something done Wednesday night. It has been real cold and my little space heater is not enought to warm up the garage. I think it might be ok tomorrow night, we'll see...

oh, also starting with post #15, I resized my pics a little smaller, what do you like the new size or the huge ones from the first few posts??

Man you could have had the Radiator dropped shipped to my house. Nice parts!! Does that radiator have a trans cooler? My guess is no.

No trans cooler, I plan to run one similar to this:

or since I work for a coil company, I can make one similar to this:

I have not gotten anything done lately, I took my boys to my folks farm for the last weekend of deer season. While I was there, I picked up some of my old parts that I never got rid of like the seat and original steering wheel. The seat frame is rusted but salvageable and only needs new foam and 2 springs replaced.

Well got a few (very few) things done this past weekend and last night. I got the rusted areas cleaned and treated and applied Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator on them. Painted my master cylinder and mounted it for now on the firewall. I am waiting on a fitting to continue with the front brakes. I would have pictures...but my camera would not turn on even with new batteries. Not sure what is wrong.

I also got some cleaning and painting on the motor done. Started on some of the brake lines for the front, got one side done, but I broke my good flaring tool. I hope I can fix it, can't afford another right now. My goal is to work on the brake lines and finish that this week. I need to get the trans done and then I can put the motor and trans in the frame to get more progress done.

Again, sorry no pics, but I will get some when my camera is working again.

Where did the Radiator come from. And is it a stock replacement?
